Second Libyan Civil War

The Second Libyan Civil War is a conflict that began in 2014 between rival factions seeking control over Libya. Most of the fighting has been between the democratically-elected Council of Deputies, also known as the "Libyan parliament" and internationally recognized as the government of Libya, and the former General National Congress, an Islamist coalition. There have also been various terrorist groups and local forces involved in the war.

In early 2015, a United Nations-brokered agreement led to the creation of a unity Government of National Accord, but its exact status is still unclear. The Tobruk-based Council of Deputies refused to acknowledge its authority and talks between the two are still underway.
